       @ActionRetro Nobody ever made them like this! The OEM OS installer was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!

       @ActionRetro Yes! And I never understood why, on the one hand, the devices were always full of these ugly stickers, and on the other hand, why the users left all these stickers on. 😃

       @ActionRetro The version of that with the ten-key keyboard was my daily driver. I even had the insane docking station. Their batteries were so bad…

       @ActionRetro i consider it a public service to remove stickers advertising features for a laptop the user already bought when they're not looking

       @ActionRetro Well, accessible batteries, replaceable/upgradable memory, good internal ventilation, and speakers that do not destroy themselves if not controlled by software (e.g. speakersafetyd) are well missed ... However HP laptops were (and still) pretty icky.

       @ActionRetro I have this very same beast, I love how the CPU is socketed and the fact that it's a desktop CPU.
